[R-pkg-devel] CRAN check FAIL due to pragmas in headers and code

Hi all,

Three days ago, Patrick Perry posted the following on R-devel:

I didn't pay much attention, but today I received a couple of emails
warning about my package failing on r-devel-linux-x86_64-debian (gcc
and clang) with the following message:

Check: pragmas in C/C++ headers and code
Result: FAIL

My package has no pragmas, but Rcpp, on which it depends, does. So
basically Rcpp and all packages depending on Rcpp are failing on that
flavors. Is this a new requirement for new submissions? Or should I
ignore these FAILs?
